Windshield OEM Audi or OEM Volvo
Just had my 2022 xc60 recharge windshield replaced by Safelite (insurance coop). They used oem Volvo glass and did the recalibration at their shop near my home. All went well, and a couple weeks have gone by with lots of rain and no issues.
Pros: all went well, no issues
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
My dad has a 2021 SQ5, and after an aftermarket windshield caused random issues with advanced safety features like ACC or Audi Pre-sense, we got an OEM Audi windshield and no more issues.
Pros: resolved issues, systems work
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
The 1st time with Audi glass had zero issues..
Pros: zero issues
My SQ5 windshield has been stronger than any other car I've owned. It got hit with a rock so hard at 75MPH that I slammed on brakes and went to the side of the road because it was that loud. I was sure it smashed or was about to crack really bad. There was some powder on it from hitting it and I was extremely disappointed because it was right in my view. Residue washed right off and now I cant even see it. Literally blew my mind. I have acoustic glass in my car (prestige) but I'm not sure if the front windshield has it.
Pros: very strong, highly durable
Vehicle:
Audi SQ5
My windshield cracked the first time after 255.000 of highway only Kilometers
Pros: high durability, long lasting
Vehicle:
Audi A8
Mileage: 255000 km
My old S3 ('09) and my A6 ('11) have really solid windscreens compared to my previous (non-Audi) vehicles.
Pros: very solid
The windshield on my A6 C5 original from factory lasted 19 years until a rock about the size of a bouncy ball flew off a semi and hit me on the freeway. Through the years it had been pelted countless times by different kinds of debris.
Pros: lasted 19 years, very durable
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Audi glass is awful. My original windshield was full of black specks. When it cracked all the way across the middle
Cons: awful quality, black specks, cracked easily
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Audi windshield quality SUCKS. Mine had black spots on it that drove me nuts.
Cons: poor quality, black spots
It’s so incredibly frustrating how easy it is for these windshields to crack. My 2013 a5 is so prone to tiny rocks cracking the windshield
Cons: prone to cracking, easily damaged
Vehicle:
Audi A5
